Well... it's not that bad (having done something like this years ago). But
we were just discussing... we could organise it here... we came up with some
ideas for extra table room etc... and also there's always the back yard and
the garage can be organised around too.
Sure I don't live in a mansion but it's not like we're gonna need every room
in the joint ;) Last meet we did at my joint held around 15 people, and that
was smaller than where we are now (being single level this time helps too).

Fair enough, that's cool... But if there are a fair amount of people, I
kinda think more than 1 theme would be great. I mean if Technic was
chosen.. definately forget me... I don't have enough (or as it is I have too
much ;)) and R2D2 would have to tag along then ;)... But I think if there
was atleast 2 themes, that would expand the ideas and choices?...
Kerry, I want you to bring along a Space Castle ;P - j/k

Oh ja... early morning ;)... maybe some shopping first before everything
closes? before or after... no biggy... but organising some other
Lego-related stuff would be cool.
